1945 Map of St Joseph Point

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

St Joseph Pt and the surrounding narrow landform known as the Spit dominate this mid-century maritime survey. Published by the War Department and Corps of Engineers, the map details the delicate coastal geometry separating the open Gulf of Mexico from the sheltered waters of St Joseph Bay. This particular stretch of the Florida Panhandle is defined by its dramatic series of dune ridges and marshy swales, providing a look at the natural shoreline before significant modern development. Coastal researchers and local historians can trace the specific contours of Eagle Harbor as it appeared during the final years of the Second World War, a period when this peninsula served as a vital strategic and navigational reference point for the Gulf coast.
